Abstract |
The most suitable method for collection and treatment of sewage discharged from the Mound Edgecumbe, Alaska, Federal Complex was determined. This engineering study includes data on the volume and character of liquid wastes, hospital practices affecting the sewage, availability and harvesting practices of shellfish and effects of the proposed discharge of treated effluent, and oceanographic characteristics of Sitka Sound and adjacent waters. Recreational, industrial, and other water uses are discussed with relation to the degree of treatment proposed. Economic and engineering factors involve the feasiblity of collecting all wastes from existing multiple outfalls for treatment at one or more locations. |
